Legalizing Medical Marijuana
Legalizing marijuana is favored by
many to believe that it is good for medical reasons. Marijuana is very
effective at relieving nausea and vomiting, but then there are many ways to
prevent such situations. Marijuana is a very versatile, as it can relieve
certain types of pain, help treat appetite loss, and relieve spasms and paralysis.
While it does take care of many problems, it can also add more problems than
what you already have. Using marijuana often can actually affect your short
term memory. Even though it helps relax your muscles, it can actually impair
your cognitive ability. Marijuana is known to increase risk of lung diseases
but only if there is tobacco involved. Of course, smoked marijuana does have
cancer causing compounds. It still doesn’t mean ache and addiction can ensue.
Pain can come and go, but there’s always a possibility that pain can be long
term. Marijuana is used for many centuries for medicinal purposes, but it can
also lead to abuse and addiction. Which turn in point, can promote endless
usage of it. Marijuana is known to be a safe choice compared to many prescription
medications. However, it is also known to have a high percentage of automobile
crashes and workplace accidents if it were to be used. People will still use
it, but will they abuse it?
You did a really good job showing your opinion as well as recognizing the opposing opinion of others.
